Stain

Cute but not really all that funny

thaklos

A genius film that has a number of incredibly humorous setups. The highlight for me was an old lady and her dogs continuously confounding a stuttering assassin in a number of asides punctuating the main narrative. Occasionally Kline's performance goes a bit too far over the top in comparison to the other characters, but that is also part of the films unique charm. Cleese also stands out with fabulous delivery from likable everyman.

LostLigeia

A highly unconventional, very well-written British comedy with two Pythons at the helm and an insanely memorable performance by Kevin Kline. If you don't laugh at this film, I think there might be something wrong with you. "ASSHOOOOOLE!"
